Howard, I know that SRD also has a paddle with fixed components on either side. The OP said that his was the modular and that he received a variety of stropping materials with it. That is why I thought that the pictured paddle might be the modular. AFAIK, there is only one modular ...... but I could be wrong, I was wrong once before......

Agreed, I saw he had the modular also, but I hadn't realized there was a fixed paddle too. Thought it was worth noting.

Yeah your right, looks like he has the leather on his, I thought was also the wool he took a picture of... So that's why I mentioned his "wool" looks different than my "wool"

Yeah it was the angle I took the picture with, I had some junk around it and tried my best to take a quick pic without getting my sunglasses and change bowl in with it. Thanks Lynn for posting that video, it helped a lot.
One last question guys, the diamond spray I have is. 05, what would be another good paste to get to compliment my setup? I read someone else say they use crox but looking around it seems to be the same grit as the diamond spray.

I have the Diamond spray on one of the felt strops. On the rough leather I have crox rubbed on it.

I have the opposite of this, CrOX on felt and diamond on the scrub leather

Mine came today with an extra leather pad that I ordered and the other usual stuff (SRD Lynn Abrams Modular Paddle, .5 Diamond Spray,
Hard Wool Felt Pads, Roughed Leather Pad). I love it because, I can now do everything with that set-up. I was already using a SRD paddle as my primary strop, but was using an old 2" linen side with CrOx as my step after the 12k Naniwa. Now I can just do rough leather, leather, diamond felt or CrOx felt with one tool...and it's too nice to all a tool. I did drill the handle so I can store it hanging, with a leather thong, and I retired my other paddle to my home office, where I can strop while thinking about email answers.

A great buy! Wish I had bought it first.
